Taylor Swift’s Eras tour to become the most lucrative tour in history

The shows are projected to raise a total of $5.7 billion, which would be enough to send everybody in the US $20.

The stadium-filling shows, which kicked off in March and are set to run until late 2024, are projected to raise a total of $5.7 billion, which would be enough to send everybody in the US $20. The numbers suggest that Swift’s income from the tour would be larger than the annual GDP of 42 countries in the world.

The income is also set to be boosted by the release of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, an official concert film that was released in cinemas yesterday (October 13). The film took more than $80 million in advanced ticket sales and is projected to raise $196 million during its theatrical run. The record-breaking tour is having a significant impact on the US economy too, with ticket sales, merchandising and travel all contributing to the overall total. The software company QuestionPro has calculated that each show raises around $93 million for the local economy.

The average ticket price for one of the 33-year-old’s shows stands at around $450, and Swift herself is estimated to receive as much as $4.1 billion from the tour in total.
